ALLENDALE, N.J. -- Today, Guardian Digital, the world's premier provider of open source security solutions, is happy to announce the newest release of EnGarde Secure Linux: Community 3.0.18 (Version 3.0, Release 18), the world's first Open Source security platform.

The launch includes the introduction of Guardian Digital Health Center, the proactive approach towards monitoring your system hardware and also includes two completely new tools, FWKNOP and PSAD as covered in "Linux Firewalls" by Michael Rash:

  • FireWall KNock OPerator (FWKNOP) an authorization scheme called Single Packet Authorization (SPA).
